What is the most disturbing/scary horror movie you have ever seen? - Page 3

A Serbian Film. For the love of everything good, don't even google that.

When A Stranger Calls, the original 1979 version. Especially the first 15 minutes.

It’s so scary to me because of how simply realistic it is. Imagine being stalked by an unseen person during the 70s, before there were security cameras or smartphones. You’re sitting alone in the house and a stranger keeps calling you and is even saying that he wants your blood all over him. The whole time you think the call is coming from outside the house and that he’s watching you through the windows. Then you find out that the call is actually coming from inside the house. He could be behind a dark corner or upstairs, and he could strike at any moment.

Man, that’s just…terrifying.

Not everyone believes in ghosts or monsters or aliens, but one thing that is real without dispute is a murderous stalker.

I forgot about that... an entire movie where the payoff is literally one line of dialog over the phone.

It also basically rips off the original 1974 Black Christmas film.

Actually both films were inspired by the urban legend “The babysitter and the man upstairs”, which dates back to the 60s.
